May 1 is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.  In all his ordinariness, St. Joseph embodies the religious spirit for which all Christians long—integrity, fortitude, fidelity, and sanctity. In living out his foreboding vocation of being the husband of Mary and the foster father of the Messiah, St. Joseph remained unwavering in his loyalty, faithful to his mission, and unselfishly open to the will of God. St. Joseph did this not out of blind obedience or ignorance; he did it simply out of love.

Holy Week allows us to enter Jerusalem with our Blessed Lord and trace His steps from the Last Supper, to the Cross, and lastly to his tomb. Please take some time this week to enter into prayer and join your Parish in a virtual Mass.
